Cringey Posts About Books and Reading That Give Bibliophiles a Bad Name

As someone with a lifelong love of books and words, I maintain that almost anybody who self-defines as a 'reader' is usually a deeply annoying person. More often than not, they have a weird fixation with making introversion a defining personality trait, and they probably get into the dumbest arguments on Twitter. Oh, and don't even get me started on every single bozo who thinks of themselves as a writer, too.

There are numerous benefits to enjoying reading as a pastime. When it comes down to it, we should be able to do it whichever way we like, so long as we're not hurting anyone. Still, those pesky readers and writers have a habit of making things more complicated and cringeworthy than they have to be. It was all downhill when books became a TikTok trend, but things were probably going that way already. So long as everyone is enjoying themselves, I guess.
